TWO-LAYER FILM AND METHOD OF FORMING PATTERN WITH THE SAME

摘要

The invention concerns a lift-off process for patterning layers that are deposited and/or sputtered. The invention provides a two-layer resist and a patterning method using the resist. The patterning method can readily produce burr-free layers on a substrate. <??>The method comprises the steps of: sequentially applying positive radiation-sensitive resin compositions 1 and 2 to form a two-layer laminate; subjecting the two-layer resist to single exposure and development to produce fine patterns having an undercut cross section; depositing and/or sputtering an organic or inorganic thin layer with use of the resist pattern as a mask; and lifting off the resist pattern to leave a pattern of the thin layer in desired shape. <IMAGE>
